A few days ago, we saw Canada's Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre lose an election and his own seat. Can we make that twice in a week?

Current numbers (6.1% counted) have a 5.1% swing to the ALP, resulting in a 6.8% lead for Labor's Ali France over Liberal leader Peter Dutton.

I think a metric fucktonne.

Definitely. And while the Liberals have tried to claim they've been unfairly tarred with the orange brush, they deliberately tacked that way and it did not work. You had Dutton threatening to get "the woke agenda" out of school curriculums (notably set by the previous LNP government, so the woke agenda of ... Scott Morrison???) and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price literally saying MAGA.

Don't forget "hate media", and getting a preference deal with Pauline Hanson...

They really have zero self-awareness.

The use of the metric fucksystem is just icing on the cake.
